O artigo discute a atuação dos Centros Familiares de Formação por Alternância (CEFFAs). Por meio de um estudo de caso, foi analisado até que ponto a Escola Família Agrícola (EFA) Itapirema, localizada no município de Ji-Paraná (RO), tem contribuído para as práticas de desenvolvimento rural sustentável do Território Central no Estado de Rondônia. No quadro teórico são identificadas as principais visões ambientalistas, as vertentes de desenvolvimento sustentável e os conceitos de educação para o desenvolvimento sustentável. Os dados extraídos dos documentos da EFA Itapirema, tratados por meio de análise de conteúdo, permitiram identificar a concepção de desenvolvimento rural sustentável predominante no currículo da Escola. Por meio de entrevistas e observações de campo foram levantadas as áreas nas quais os seus egressos estão atuando e analisado até que ponto as ações desses egressos e suas famílias estão alinhadas com a proposta da Escola. Os resultados indicam que a abordagem ambientalista da Escola se insere numa vertente preservacionista; a proposta de desenvolvimento rural engloba de forma equilibrada as concepções sustentabilista e socioambientalista. Contudo, identificou-se que a prática este equilíbrio não se concretiza, pois a concepção sustentabilista não está sendo exercida satisfatoriamente pelos egressos e suas famílias. Assim, a proposta da Escola EFA Itapirema não tem consequência prática para o desenvolvimento rural sustentável da região onde atua, pois está muito mais alicerçada no seu “ser” do que no seu “fazer”. Palavras-chave: Educação; Desenvolvimento Sustentável; Agricultores Familiares; CEFFAs. Abstract The article discusses the performance of the Family Centers of Formation by Alternation (CEFFAs). Through a case study, it was analyzed how much the School Agricultural Family (EFA) called Itapirema, located in the city of Ji-Paraná, State of Rondônia/Brazil, has contributed for the practices of sustainable rural development of the Central Territory in the State of Rondônia. In the theoretical framework are identified the main environmentalist visions, approaches of sustainable development and the concepts of education for the sustainable development. Data extracted from EFA Itapirema’s documents, treated by means of analysis of the content, permitted to identify the predominant conception of sustainable rural development in the school curriculum. By interviews and field observations were investigated the areas in which their ex graduates are acting and was analyzed how much those ex graduates and their families are aligned with the proposal of the School. The result indicates that the environmentalist approach of the School is inserted in a conception preservationist: the proposal of rural development embodies conceptions of sustainabilism and socio-environmentalist in a balanced form. However, it was identified in practice this equilibrium has not been achieved, because the conception sustainabilist has not being satisfactorily performed by the ex graduates and their families. Thus, the EFA Itapirema School’s proposal does not have practical consequence for rural sustainable development in the region where it acts, because it is much more based in its "being" than on its "doing".

The international Cittaslow movement brings together towns that promote the slow life philosophy. The concept has been developed in response to the increasing pace of life and the adverse effects of globalization. According to the members of Cittaslow, the organization contributes to the sustainable development of their regions and to improvement of the quality of life. In view of the benefits of Cittaslow membership confirmed by research studies, the question arises whether the concept of Cittaslow could also be introduced in rural areas. This paper seeks to answer the above question. The study involved an analysis of the Cittaslow membership criteria (Cittaslow goals) and a survey conducted among the inhabitants of the Warmian village of Żabi Róg. The results of the study were used to test the research hypothesis and to assess the quality of life in the analyzed area.

The Impact

The transport infrastructure can be defined as a factor that guarantees the growth and economic development of the region, due to the functions of traversing space in terms of the movement of people and the exchange of goods. The effects of the impact of transport infrastructure on the economy of the region largely depend on how the society uses the services offered by infrastructure facilities and devices. The study examines the impact of transport infrastructure on the sustainable socio-economic development of the Wałcz Lake District. To conduct the analysis, a questionnaire addressed to entrepreneurs from this region was used. In the second part of the research, the indicators of sustainable development at the regional level were applied: the level of transport infrastructure and the level of socio-economic development of the studied area. The study is an attempt to fill the cognitive gap for areas outside the country’s main transport corridors. The existing differentiation in both the development of infrastructure and the economic attractiveness of urban and rural areas was shown. Factors influencing the effectiveness of implementing the concept of sustainable rural development were indicated.

Environmental Goals

Sustainable agricultural development is a concept of rural and agricultural development programming that combines production goals with environmental requirements. The sustainable development of sustainable agriculture is aimed at harmonizing social, economic and environmental goals. The principle of sustainable development is the axiological basis of the European Union’s activity and is nowadays the motive for legal and agricultural regulations. In Polish law, the principle of sustainable development is contained in Art. 5 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of April 2, 1997 and is considered a systemic principle. The definition of sustainable development is included in Art. 3 point 50 of the Environmental Protection Law. In the provisions of the Act of February 20, 2015 on supporting rural areas with the participation of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development under the Rural Development Program for 2014-2020, we do not find a direct reference to the principle of sustainable development. The aim of the article is to highlight the legal basis of the principle of sustainable development and to answer the question whether the Rural Development Program implements the principle of sustainable development?

The Relationship

Climate problems, the state of the environment, the Covid-19 crisis are the main problems of today that directly affect agricultural production and as a consequence the sustainable development of rural areas. The article analyzes the factors of reorientation of agricultural production to organic production. Emphasis is placed on preserving local agricultural traditions and scientifically sound approaches to organic production to ensure sustainable development of rural areas. Using Forsight research, the relationship between balanced rural development and organic production is predicted. The basic strategies of competition have been identified with the help of the five Porter forces, in order to develop a strategy for successful entry into organic markets and maintaining supply chains during the Covid-19 period. Emphasis is placed on high requirements for agricultural products and compliance with environmental standards in their production, which may be an obstacle to further exports of Ukrainian organic products to the EU market. The relationship between the dynamics of organic production and a set of measures and determinants that determine the natural resources and production and technical conditions of rural development is substantiated using the SMART-method. It is argued that organic production is a resource basis for the development of strategies to increase the production of agricultural products, finished food products and sustainable development of rural areas. The importance of organic production during the COVID-19 crisis is outlined. It is proved that there is practically no alternative to the development of agriculture under the organic scenario in the system of sustainable development of rural areas in the long run.

The sustainability of rural areas is facing numerous challenges in China. The Chinese government has chosen the construction of smart villages as an important strategy to realize the sustainable development of rural areas. In this paper, we define a smart village as a rural development model that fully utilizes the solutions provided by the information and communication technology (ICT) to promote the sustainable development of the village on the basis of clarifying the characteristics and needs of rural development. Combined with general system theory, we propose a theoretical framework of the smart village system. Based on the theoretical framework of the smart village system, we analyzed the smart village strategic planning and smart village practice in China. The results of the study showed that the construction and development of smart villages in disadvantaged rural areas is the correct choice for sustainable rural development according to the current situation in China. The Chinese government’s role in promoting smart village construction has been to promote the smart village system’s strategic subsystem to enhance smart rural areas’ development through a unified overall plan and related supporting policies. The top-down smart village construction model currently adopted by China is determined by China’s political and economic system, which is mainly reflected in the centralization of power and the public economy’s dominance.

Effective Development

To solve the decline of rural development, an effective development mode is indispensable. Rural tourism is a key approach in poverty alleviation and rural revitalization in China. The comparative analysis of the 50 most beautiful villages as awarded by the Ministry of Agriculture of China shows that the rural tourism development mode with the integration of production, village and scenery realizes the sustainable development of rural areas. To examine this further, this study takes Qinggangshu Village as a case study and constructs a systematic rural tourism-based sustainable development model called Aims, Measures, Demands (AMD). The results show that Qinggangshu Village has changed from a single farming village to a mature tourism village due to the Beautiful Village Project’s support. In this process, the production, village and scenery have made great change by promoting rural tourism development. Land consolidation and land asset activation is at the core of rural transformation and development, which can drive the reorganization and flow of labor and capital and can also make rebuilt villages more comfortable living spaces. Furthermore, a good landscape environment can stimulate development and competition. This study could be used as an example of attaining sustainable development for other rural areas.

Ecosystem Fragmentation

This paper discusses Green Infrastructure, which can be considered a useful tool in the process of ensuring the sustainable development of urban structures in the Carpathian region. It allows for achieving a better quality of the environment of human life and healthy wildlife linkages. The element that supports defining information about the existing state of Green Infrastructure and its resources is the Green Infrastructure fragmentation coefficient based on edge effect calculations, which is the relation between the edge of the patch (circumference) to its surface area [1, 2]. With the use of model analysis of Green Infrastructure, it is possible to implement the provisions of the Carpathian Convention and coordinate planning documents that facilitate the sustainable development of spatial structures. Our study on the state of Green Infrastructure in rural areas of the Polish Carpathian Mountains is a source of knowledge about the quality of this area, its natural environment and fragmentation. Determining the territory’s Green Infrastructure fragmentation coefficient provides an opportunity for higher-precision studies and the detection of threats and integration of GI fragments and addressing proper solutions in conflict areas.
